• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPQUERY/BC_GLOBAL145 - Object already locked ?

  The SAP error message /SAPQUERY/BC_GLOBAL145 Object already locked typically indicates that a particular object (such as a query, report, or data object) is currently locked by another user or process. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when multiple users attempt to access or modify the same object simultaneously.
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently using or editing the object.
  Session Timeout: A previous session may not have released the lock due to a timeout or an unexpected termination.
  System Errors: Issues in the SAP system or database can lead to locks not being released properly.
  Long-Running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold a lock on the object for an extended period.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is temporary, waiting for a few moments and then retrying the operation may resolve the issue.
  Identify the Locking User:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to view and manage locks. You can check which user or process is holding the lock on the object.
  If necessary, you can delete the lock entry (if you have the appropriate authorizations) to release the object.
  
  
  Check for Long-Running Transactions: Use transaction code SM66 or SM50 to monitor active processes and identify any long-running transactions that may be causing the lock.
  System Administration: If the issue persists, it may require intervention from a system administrator to investigate and resolve any underlying issues with the SAP system or database.
  Review User Permissions: Ensure that users have the appropriate permissions to access and modify the object, as permission issues can sometimes lead to locking problems.
